We have a harness for our big dog, if he tries to run after a squirrel, a cat, or another dog he will immediately be turned sideways and his plans thwarted. The lead attaches to the front near his chest and the harder he pulls the more it turns him. Maybe that would help?
@JamesBugman Yep I’ve one of those too. Works so well.
@Notladylike The other way would be to drive your doggies to an offleash dog park. Then you only need to walk a short distance with them. We have friends that do this. Offleash is way more fun for a dog anyway.
@JamesBugman I don’t take them to off leash dog parks. It’s not a great environment for training them and I don’t trust other people’s dogs. I do take them to the beach where they get to run and swim.

Have you tried walking your dogs using a Halti lead?

@justanothername Yeah I’ve used them in the past. They do work. It’s just they won’t teach them not to pull they just stop them being able to pull. I’ve made good progress with them individually, they are still quite young. I think it’s just a matter of short tight lead stopping every time they get over excited until they settle. It’s just hard going cause they are so strong. I’ve got a new split lead that I’m hoping won’t tangle as easily.

@justanothername My dogs aren’t aggressive. I previously had a rescue who could be and needed the halti.

@Notladylike good choice!
@justanothername The problem is their combined strength.
